TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) – Some 600 families will receive what they need to make a complete Thanksgiving dinner this year.
It’s thanks to many of you who are participating in the Midas “Drive Out Hunger” food drive.
Our station, along with Midas, Baesler’s Market and several other businesses and local residents teamed up to help with this holiday effort.
Friday morning, lots of food was delivered to “Manna from Seven.”
The non-profit organization will distribute food baskets to those in need.
“Over the course of the past year, our numbers have grown. Everyone knows that the price of food at the grocery store is very high. The price of gas is very high and when you only have a little bit to fill those needs you turn to food pantries, food banks, soup kitchens to fill your tummies and the tummies of your kids,” Susan Seitz with Manna From Seven said.
You can still make monetary donations at Midas or pick up prepackaged food when you checkout at Baesler’s.
The next round of donations will be used for Christmas baskets.
